Bass Furniture designed and built this mechitzah with a contemporary profile. The wood base flows into the angled glass, maximizing the reflective property of the glass from the men’s side. The glass is set for women to view the chapel from the sitting position with great transparency. The panels are set on wheels for portability. They can easily be moved or stored.
Gabriel designed this modern mechitza with a flowing profile. The angled one-way mirror fully exploits the reflective properties of the glass when lit from above. The high-quality material is the best solution for a synagogue or bet midrash looking for a fully reflective material from one side and transparent from the other side. The smooth profile gives a nice weight and stability for a portable or permanent structure. The mechitzah was originally designed and built for the Margolin Hebrew Academy in Memphis, Tennessee. All mechitza panels can be custom designed with original profiles and various top materials for a range of budgets and functional needs. Price shown for wood base and frame only, top “semi-transparent” material will be added to the final price. Contact us for specific information regarding your synagogue remodel or mechitza needs.
A well designed mechitza will give a good view and feeling of access for the women. While at the same time, the mechitza must conform to some level of modesty from the men’s side, which will vary from congregation to congregation. Bass Synagogue Furniture builds custom mechitzas to suit the needs, style, and budget of our clients. Each project is designed in detailed renderings according to the specifications of our clients before it is produced. Our mechitza designs include a base of woodwork to either three feet, sitting, or four feet, standing and then a top semi-transparent material. We have found the most popular choices to be clear glass, one-way mirror, graphic printing, curtains, and laser cut wood, and sandblasted glass. We can also provide woodwork, carving, metalwork, stained glass, and pretty much whatever you can think of.For your free custom estimate tell us what model you like, how many linear feet you need to cover, the height you want to top material to begin, and the top material.For more information regarding the materials.
